The great majority of U.S. psychiatrists have no experience using MAOIs. They simply don't get exposed to it in their training, hence they are scared to use them because of the possible interaction with tyramine containing foods. Nardil and Parnate are great meds. However, I would agree with CrazychikUK and try 1 or 2 ssris, an snri, and a tca before an MAOI--just so I could drink all the beer I want!
